we get pressure on brees, but cant get a sack due to his quick release and smarts.
I think our offense struggles again under Tyrod, as he will still be hesitant to throw the football downfield. Saints will load the box daring him to throw it, and he wont.
1st half 14-3 Saints
2nd half - Our offense picks up a bit in the second half, and we rely on runs, slants, and screens to move the chains. Jarvis will have a big day. our d is doing its best against a high power defense, but eventually they will tire from a lot of 3 and outs on O, and Brees and company will go in for the kill.
Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It's perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we've learned something from yesterday. -John Wayne
38-17 Saints ... To put another way ... I think that we will need to score 39 points for the win.
I wouldn't count on six TOs' this week from our defense.
I just don't think that our offense is in a position to keep pace with Brees an company just yet ... They have yet to be weaned from the milk ... I shall gladly hope to be wrong here.
"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."
Another 500 yard day,minus the turnovers Saints 50 Browns 16
50 is a very difficult # to end on for a football team. 5 TDs and 5 FGs?

When do they feel the need to go for the 2 point conversion ?
when it's 48-7

the scary thing about playing NO is that they are very rarely shut down offensively. When they lose badly, they still can put up 34 points easily

They gave up something like 2.5 million yards and a couple thousand points last week (500+ and 48 pts, IIRC). While maybe TB turned in to a juggernaut, I think it is more that the Saints D is terrible. I think our offense will be much better - we're not playing Pitt's D in crappy weather, we're playing New Orleans D in a controlled environment.
On our D, Kamara concerns me. If we can't control him, we can't win. Brees will be Brees. If we can keep Brees under 300 yards and Kamara under 100 rushing, I think we win. This being said, I think Kamara has a 200 yard day (rushing/receiving).
- They have a HOF QB - They have urgency to win this week - They are at home - They have the hardest matchup for us in Kamara - They have a better coach
I can't really think of a reason to pick us

John 3:16 Jesus said "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."
(we take a safety to end the game, running out the final 6 seconds, on 4th down, from our own 1, instead of having to punt)
Micah 6:8; He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.

That fake punt by Hodges was a thing of beauty. I don't remember the Browns player running with him, but had he peeled off to block the smaller faster guy, he would have scored.
“...Iguodala to Curry, back to Iguodala, up for the layup! Oh! Blocked by James! LeBron James with the rejection!”
